Cristina

Disliked: Staff & service
Check-in was confusing as directions to the house and parking was confusing as signage was poor or non-existent. Also the utilities and flooring needed updating/refreshing as the toilet and shower kept running/leaking, the shower pressure was terrible and the room was difficult to temperature control (thermostat didn't seem to work). I also called to request ice and an extra blanket to be delivered to the room and they failed to be delivered at the agreed upon time. We called again and had to wait almost an hour. Recommend staying at the main hotel or Williamsburg Inn.

Underwhelming and overpriced

The paint was peeling, I hit my head on the ceiling multiple times and the $32.50 daily fee for "incidentals" was the kicker. Realizing that the building and the others around the area were likely built with slave labour played on my conscience.

Beautiful Place! Housekeeping Needs Help.

The room was kept clean, but housekeeping could use some pointers. I stayed for 3 nights. The first 2 nights that the room was cleaned, housekeeping left the door unlocked when they left. Due to the old locks, I always double-checked that the lock was engaged when we left for the day. The third night, housekeeping removed one of the pillows from the bed and left us short one. The way the "houses" are set up, we couldn't just call the front desk and request another one.

Very nice historic property, easy walkable and with many beautiful renovated and rebuils buildings from the colonial past. The standard doublerooms are pretty small and so are the beds. I would recommend booking a suite or a house for slightly more comfort.
